Correct some of the problems we have the 466 00:40:33,02 --> 00:40:38,01 reason I'm referring to that is that Bethel Park governing body. 467 00:40:39,54 --> 00:40:46,33 Ignores what I call the constitution of Delta Park which is home rule charter. They 468 00:40:46,33 --> 00:40:53,17 . Actually passed an ardent but well anybody to read plain English 469 00:40:53,18 --> 00:40:55,27 can see that their home rule charter says that 470 00:40:55,28 --> 00:41:01,64 a dullard is passed by this governing body does not become effective forth until 30 471 00:41:01,65 --> 00:41:08,52 days after the action is taken this council but the fire company question 472 00:41:08,53 --> 00:41:14,46 on the ballot submitted the paperwork within 3 days of council taking the action. 473 00:41:16,30 --> 00:41:21,47 I actually spoke to that that night before the vote was taken. 474 00:41:22,55 --> 00:41:29,48 Indicating that it was clear that that was in violation of home charter Now I'm not 475 00:41:29,49 --> 00:41:36,27 a lawyer but. I looked in my dictionary and that's when 476 00:41:36,28 --> 00:41:42,59 I lead his misfeasance of this governing body with me knowingly 477 00:41:42,77 --> 00:41:49,27 violate the law.
